Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 265 A Real Clash: Let's Go Ride the Ferris Wheel!

The overheating of the Crystal Chandelure, the tail of the Double-Haxorus; the Crusher of the Crocodile, the Tailwind of the Whimsicott.

Dragon-headed groundhog vs. dragon-headed groundhog, a double earthquake violently shook the carriage.

The Eel King unleashed a Thunderbolt, and Darmanitan's weakness was exploited, causing its Attack and Special Attack to increase dramatically!

A fierce battle unfolded inside the seemingly indestructible carriage, and even the trainers nearly got caught up in it!

However, N and Mau still held the upper hand. Although Mau's Excadrill was far inferior to Metro Controller's Pokémon in terms of training, with N's assistance, the timely counterattacks were enough to allow Mau's Excadrill to display impressive tactics!

Finally, with Haxorusaur and Chandelure both falling down, and Krookodile and Whimsicott quickly exiting the field, the battle reached the final two-on-two decisive round. Eel King was eliminated first, and Excadrill's Might and Magic Defeat ignored its Levitate ability!
"Wow! What a formidable opponent!"

Nanxia's Pokémon were the first to lose their battle ability. He pushed up his hat brim, his eyes gleaming with excitement:
"Nanxia lost this time, but I feel very satisfied because it was so much fun! Your desire to win and my desire not to lose are both real, and it is precisely because they are both real that the clash is so exciting!"

N heard the voices of the Metro Controller's Pokémon, who were saying the same thing: although they had lost and were exhausted from the battle, they were very excited and happy!
Is that how they feel? Because of the clash between reality and reality, that's what "battle" is all about!
While N was distracted, Zi Yu performed exceptionally well and finally commanded his Dragon Head Excadrill to defeat Bei Shang's Dragon Head Excadrill!

"Hu-hu-"

"Yes! Yes! We won! We beat the subway controller!"

Ziyu jumped up on the spot, showing the excitement of a little girl. Ziyu's dragon-headed ground squirrel also smiled and looked back at its little master, as if to say, "You did a pretty good job commanding her in the end!"
"Amazing! This is a heartfelt compliment from Bei Shang!" Bei Shang began to applaud: "Your unparalleled teamwork with the Pokémon was truly spectacular!"

"That's right! Teaming up with others can generate more and stronger energy than you can alone! It's the best engine! If possible, form a new team next time and challenge us again!"

The subway officials made way and told the group to wait at the next station, where someone would present them with trophies!
"We've arrived. Is this the final stop?"

N was somewhat dazed. He had just heard too many Pokémon sounds—the jubilant, exhilarating, and extremely excited roars that mobilized all their power, the desire to fight—which plunged N into a state of self-questioning.

The more they fight, the less they understand. Battle, get stronger, trainers.
The line between black and white seems to be gradually blurring. Will the relationship between humans and Pokémon change under different circumstances?
Or is it that Pokémons are becoming stronger by using human power, while humans rely on the "reality" of Pokémon battling each other to confirm each other's true feelings?
A bigger, more glorious stage
The terminal gates opened, and N walked out in a daze, with Zi Yu following him.

Then, Guangtai and the subway chiefs also came down.

"thank you all."

N snapped out of his reverie, thanked the subway controllers—a rare occurrence—and then, along with an excited Ziyu and Guangtai, arrived at the terminal station to receive the trophy symbolizing victory.

In the past, N would probably have been quite disgusted with this trophy. It was an honor earned by harming Pokémon, and he would never have bothered to seek such a thing.

But now, N can feel that whether it's the rogue crocodile that asked for help at the last minute or the baboon that has been with him for a long time, they are genuinely happy and joyful when they see him holding the trophy!
Is this their glory, and their own glory? That's what the Pokémon think!
"It's incredible. I'm filled with a strange emotion right now. What is it? Is it being moved?"

"My heart is pounding, as if telling me that I am a real, living being in this world!"

Countless ideas flooded N's mind, and Guangtai congratulated N. At the same time, Ziyu raised her finger to make a victory V. N pondered, but at least one thing was clear!
That's the trophy, something Pokémon love!

In that case, this trophy is something worth keeping. It's an important "real thing" that I obtained after conquering the Battle Subway!
Perhaps I have already obtained some of the truth from the Metro Commander. Then, the power that guides all trainers on their path to battle, and the Pokémon that have come here for battle, is "ideal"!

At this moment, Bei Shang, one of the subway's chief controllers, suddenly looked at Guang Tai with suspicion.

They arrived at the finish line in sync. However, the audience member who did not participate in the challenge gave Bei Shang a very mysterious and powerful feeling, and seemed somewhat familiar at first glance.

It was a strange feeling, like our spirits were resonating with each other.

"Excuse me! Have we met somewhere before?"

Bei Shang took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Guang Tai, who was slightly taken aback, but then understood.

After his spirit is strengthened, even if he leaves the ancient city, will he still be able to make the people of Shenhe feel something, just like he did when he attracted Boss Ju?
The people of the divine realm are drawn to each other. This concept seems familiar.

"Perhaps we met a long time ago."

Guangtai smiled, having learned something about her future.

Perhaps it really is as Youlin and Wangluo said, that I will go to the Era of Emerald Green after a long time. After all, the Miracle Diamond is in my hands. Once I obtain the Time Guide and collect the remaining two special amulets, perhaps that will be the time when I can travel through time.

"A long time ago? That must have been a really long time ago. I can't even remember it very clearly, but seeing you makes me feel a sense of nostalgia and warmth. It's incredible."

Kita no Sho smiled, his strange face breaking into a grin: "If you were a woman, you'd probably think I was trying to pick you up! Haha, how about it? Since we might have met somewhere before, how about you challenge me to a battle against the subway next time!"

Lightmoss: "Of course! If there's a chance! But I'm a bit busy right now."

Kitao smiled and said, "It's alright, the Battle Subway is always open! Well then, please be careful on your way back, the train back will be here soon! We'll be going now!"

Nanxia looked at Guangtai and said, "When Beishang felt a sense of closeness to you, even I unconsciously felt the same way. It's really amazing!"

"Congratulations to your friends for clearing the Battle Subway! But I think they can work even harder and become even better! Keep striving to climb higher!"

The two subway controllers returned to the train. Although it was the final stop, it was only the end of the battle for the subway. They were now heading back to another station.

The moss waved goodbye to them.

Meanwhile, Teacher N has also figured out a lot of things.

"Thank you, Ziyu. Working with you has helped me understand many things."

"Also, thank you, Lord Mitsuki."

N thanked Ziyu and Guangtai, then, as if remembering something, suddenly said to Guangtai:
"I want to fight you."

Guang Moss: "?"

N: "That's right, it was just a sudden thought. I feel that perhaps the battle is really the result of the collision between each other's realities and ideals. If I need to become... Anyway, I hope to fight you in an important place."

"I am in a good mood right now and I am not in any pain, but I still can't understand many things."

"So, I decided to go to the Tower of Heaven."

"That tower is where countless Pokémon have perished, and righteous souls slumber there. I've heard that the bell at the top of the tower can reflect a person's heart. I think I should ring that bell with the same feeling I have now."

"Although I still believe that our team's actions were correct, perhaps some things don't need to be completely... In short, as long as I become stronger than the champion, everything will change and be corrected!"

Guangtai immediately rubbed his temples.

Although in the original work, Teacher N eventually surpassed the champion, his mindset back then was clearly completely different from now!
What kind of personality does this person have?
After finishing the Metro battle, you immediately switched to Berserker N? I didn't know you had this side to you!

“No problem, I’m going to Zephyr City too.” Lightmoss stroked a Poké Ball: “A Pokémon is going back to its hometown, and I’m going to Zephyr City to investigate some things.”

"Perhaps we will meet again in Fukiyori."

"That's wonderful!" N's joy was palpable. He smiled from the bottom of his heart, and his previously somewhat empty eyes became full of light, as if he had found a direction in life, even if it was only temporary.

But this feeling... N gripped the trophy tightly. This important feeling, he would never forget it!

"Since that's the case, shall we go somewhere fun? We've already won, let's ride the Ferris wheel! I really like that ride! I love the Ferris wheel. Its circular motion... the mechanics is like a beautiful collection of formulas!"

On the other side, although Ziyu didn't understand the riddle the two young men were talking about, she felt that wasn't her concern. What mattered was that a genuine smile had returned to Teacher N's ​​face. Ziyu nodded.
"I think this is great!"

"Let's go ride the Ferris wheel! There's also Miss Ju's fashion show this afternoon!"

“That outfit,” N suddenly said, “you made it, didn’t you? I heard that the dress you made was the one that was on display at the fashion show.”

"Huh?!" Zi Yu was taken aback, looking at Guang Tai in surprise, but then rubbed her dimples as she thought, "Huh? Guang Tai, Guang Tai."

Only then did she belatedly realize what had happened!

"Ah! Brother Guangtai, could you be the person who appeared in the news in Feiyun City before! And you are that mysterious genius artist!"

Guangtai smiled and said, "I wouldn't call myself a genius artist. The curator of the Yati Museum is overestimating me. The reason I exhibited my work there was because I had to. I am also a person with goals in my actions, and everything I do is to help a friend."

N: "I can probably understand that feeling. Being forced to do something for your friends, you actually enjoy it, don't you?"

Guangtai laughed and said, "Don't worry about these things. In short, I'll pay for everything in Raven City today. Someone gave me a Raven City amusement park pass. No matter how many people I invite, all the rides are free for ten years!"

The three of them walked out of the subway station. It was still early, and Zi Yu led them quickly to the Ferris wheel. Unlike in the game, the real Ferris wheel was a four-seater, but usually no one would sit on it like that.

After all, most of the people who come to ride the Ferris wheel are couples. Although there are occasionally families, they are rare. Strange combinations like Guangtai, Teacher Da N, and Ziyu attract some attention.

Most people come to Raven to have fun and don't interfere too much in other people's affairs, especially when they see that this group is holding two trophies, they immediately realize that they are "doubles partners"!
Then, that's not surprising!

Even stranger pairings have been seen in the tag team battles against the subway.

When the Ferris wheel reaches its highest point, you can overlook the entire city of Raven.

"How beautiful!" Zi Yu murmured to herself. She felt truly happy today!

N gazed into the distance, while simultaneously focusing his attention on the Pokémon incubator that Ziyu was carrying on her back.

"This Pokémon looks like it's about to hatch."

"It's probably because I've handled them before," Guangtai admitted. Because she possessed the knowledge of a certain incubator, the Pokémon eggs she came into contact with would hatch quickly.

It can only be said that Gin's power is truly a blessing for egg hatchers. In the original special episode, he simply rolled around with the egg twice and an illegal Pichu hatched out.

"You also have the ability to hatch? That's incredible."

N smiled and lowered his head: "I have also met many people with special powers. I have heard that there are even more people with special abilities in the world. It turns out that I am not a monster after all, and special powers are not uncommon in the world."

Lightmoy: "No, most people in the world are still ordinary people. The proportion of people with various abilities is very small. It's just that you often go to places where there are no people. Those places are more likely to gather the spirit of the world and attract special people with abilities."

"However, you are right about something. It seems you understand. Having special abilities is not a bad thing. In fact, many ordinary people yearn to have these abilities. Wouldn't it be great to be able to talk to Pokémon? In the faraway Kanto region, there is a professor who has developed a machine that can turn himself into a Pokémon. Professor Bill, have you heard of it?"

"He is the developer of the Pokémon storage system and has also become a Pokémon himself."

"Huh?" N was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting such a bizarre thing to happen.

"Not only that, there is also a famous designer in Kalos, a dream girl from the Johto region. That girl also designed many Pokémon-related outfits in order to become a Pokémon, and she can also communicate with her Pokémon."

"And in the Battle Frontier, there are also Battle Lords who can understand the hearts of Pokémon. And...don't you know about Rangers?"

"I'm not talking about those on duty in Unova, but those at the Ranger Headquarters. In the faraway Almia region, there's a tool called the Hunting Beacon. Rangers use this tool to communicate with Pokémon, conveying their feelings so that wild Pokémon can temporarily help them!"

The description of the light moss plunged N into a fantasy world.

Understand yourself, understand others, and ultimately understand the world.

N could finally understand what the moss had said before.

The world is so vast!

And traveling is a good thing.

"Oh, right, my partner wants to talk to you. It's a Pokémon from beyond the universe!"

Lightmoss handed Deoxys to N, which was also Deoxys's idea. It had previously discovered that this green-haired youth was extraordinary, and chatting with people and Pokémon was Deoxys's favorite thing to do, at least it was its favorite thing right now.

Interacting and communicating with different lives, learning about incredible and novel things, and gaining different emotions and precious memories—this is the meaning of life and travel.

Of course, like everyone else and Pokémon, even N couldn't keep his expression in check when he learned about Deoxys's origins. He was quite surprised, followed by endless curiosity!
After getting off the Ferris wheel, the three headed to the fashion show stage next to Raven Gym. In Black and White 2, this place was transformed into a gym and renovated. Raven Gym is also very huge, just like in the anime, and it even has an underground amusement park inside.

Xiao Ju'er's fashion show is about to begin. Zi Yu waved her hand and, taking advantage of her small size, squeezed forward and found a good spot, making Guang Tai and N exchange helpless smiles.

At this time, Ziyu was still a lively and cute type, and had not yet become the class monitor she would later become.

Soon, Raven's dazzling beauty took to the stage, and her dragon costume caused the audience to erupt in cheers. Meanwhile, Lightmoy received a lot of "approval" and "feedback"!
Although most people didn't endorse the clothes themselves, but rather because Xiaojuer was wearing them, let's focus on the result and ignore the process. Overall, the presentation was a great success, wasn't it?

"The effect is very good," Lightmoss commented, while Tree of Entry also sent a message.

[The Tree of Connection sensed a large amount of will. Although the acceptance rate was low, it was still effective. The decaying branches were slowly regenerating, and many leaves were gradually growing!]

"Sometimes there are fashion show battles here. Miss Daisy will invite some people to the stage to fight. If they win, it's equivalent to a gym challenge, and they will be awarded the Raven Gym Badge."

Ziyu was excitedly explaining the science to Guangtai and N, while N quickly lowered the brim of his hat.

Clearly, he didn't want to be discovered.

Moreover, N was only here to see the dragon costume; he wasn't interested in Xiaoju'er herself.

However, while walking the runway, Xiaoju suddenly noticed Guangtai in the crowd.

Without a doubt, it looks exactly the same as what was shown in the news at the time!
After Yati mentioned this, Xiaojuer even went to watch the news replay of that incident.

interesting!

Raven, the beauty who loves to tell corny jokes, suddenly curled the corners of her mouth!
Let's bring the atmosphere of this fashion show to its peak!
"I will choose an audience member as my opponent, right here at this fashion show. So!"

"Hey spectator, let's have a match!"

Xiao Ju'er directly extended an invitation to Guang Tai in the audience!
　PS: Xiaoju will engage in battles during the fashion show; this is a setting revealed in Master Bao.
